Entering into the life and culture of the  Catholic Church requires a gradual process of initiation.  Our program here is based on an ancient model used by the entire Church that respects an individual’s traditions, questions, and time frames.  We offer a comprehensive program that strives to facilitate discernment, foster prayer, and help interested non-Catholic adults learn more about Catholic belief, life, liturgy, tradition, and mission.  All of this is done within the context of the life and community of St. Charles Borromeo Parish.

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is designed for people who want to explore in greater depth their attraction to Catholicism.  It is primarily for those who have never been baptized; but it has been adapted to accommodate non-Catholic Christians as well as Catholics who have not yet received Confirmation and/or First Eucharist.
